- Check your grade record here ,
- You will need a lab notebook for this course. I like
this one.
You do not have to have this exact one, but it should be bound, numbered and graph ruled.
Extra things that are great about this one are the spiral binding means it can lie flat while you’re working, and the pages are larger than 8.5x11” so that you can tape entire pages into the notebook.
- The textbook for this course will be:
Basic Electronics:
An Introduction to Electronics for Science Students, Second Edition, by
Curtis A. Meyer.
You can order it
here.
You do not need the lab manual. Just the textbook.
Announcements
- Exam 2 will be Wednesday, May 4.
- Exam 1 will be Wednesday, Mar 16.
